188th General Dispensary

The 188th General Dispensary was a United States Army medical unit activated in the post-World War II era. Stationed primarily in Germany, the unit was responsible for providing medical support and dispensary services to American military personnel and their dependents during the Cold War. As part of the U.S. Army Medical Department, the 188th played a key role in maintaining the health and readiness of troops stationed abroad. The unit’s operations contributed to the broader mission of U.S. forces in Europe until its eventual deactivation as part of force reductions and restructuring.
